Just last week I finished watching Bakemonogatari and it was amazing. Definitely on my top 5 of all time. I read some other reviews which focused heavily on the "romance" aspect, but that wasn't the main theme that drove it home for me. It was definitely the emphasis on character development and the sardonic verbal sparring that I enjoyed. And of course the character of Araragi as a bodhisattva that is willing to sacrifice himself for others even to the point of fighting karma itself (episode 10) was quite original. If anything, there wasn't a single character I didn't like. Also, the sexual innuendo was just enough to be nostalgic as opposed to being perverse and childish.
